1) One Proportion          (8.2)

                Nationally, roughly 14% of adults fail to wear their seatbelt on every car trip. Suppose we find that 6 of 31 drivers in Rochester are not wearing their seatbelt.

a) What sample proportion of drivers weren’t wearing their belt?

                b) Run the following hypothesis test from your sample. (z*=1.650 1-tail)

                                H0: p=0.14

                                HA: p>0.14

                c) Explain what your conclusion means in the context of this situation.

1- Labrador retrievers can be one of three colours: black, chocolate brown, and yellow. The proportion of puppies born with each coat colour can be predicted by the genotypes of the parents. One set of parents produced 50 puppies (in six litters), and we've recorded the observed numbers of puppies with each coat color. We only know the coat colours of the parents and not their exact genotype at the locus determining coat colour, and we want to test our...
